There were many versions of the Yenko block. Some were for boat racing, but others were used in the unlimited sprint cars of that era. So it is possible that you could have had one installed in a street application. Also Yenko did a 6 cylinder version of the ZL/1 motor

I know of a sprint car owner who had Yenko install the aluminum big blocks in his cars, they also installed one in his Shelby Cobra!

There were at least 3 1967 Yenko Camaro protoypes built, with at least one, possibly two that contained aluminum ZL-1 engines. The documentation is in the paperwork that remains with the Yenko estate. I have seen the hand written notes. They contain the VINs written in pink (Donna Mae). I am assuming that they were Chevy ZL-1 engines, not Yenkos. Tom

Tom, Were any of these cars sold to general public?

[bkhpah]

I had seen the papers with a 1968 Yenko Camaro with a ZL/1 motor that Donna Mae had shown me. I had never heard of a 67. Yenko was driving the car to see how it ran according to Donna Mae. This has to be one of the earliest released prototypes. What has become of the car and motor is unknown.
